The correct answer is: B) binding to their substrate

The catalytic mechanism of an enzyme starts when the substrate binds to its active site (specific region of an enzyme). There is a theory (lock and key) that explains the mechanism of this binding: the lock is the enzyme and the key is the substrate and only if they fit the enzyme will work. The binding of the substrate to the enzyme causes conformational changes of the enzyme, and as a result, products are formed. The products are then released from the surface of tat enzyme. The enzyme is regenerated for another reaction cycle.

Como se forman las perlas
Kobotan [32]
Hay tees métodos pot los cuales se forma las perlas: naturalmente, culturas, o imitación. En la naturaleza, in irritante como un pará o un grand de arena de abre paso entre el manto y la cáscara de in mejillón, una almeja o una ostra. Leugo, como mecanismo de defensa, la criatura marina comienza a secretar una mucosa com minerales conocidos como nácar, el mismo material del que están hechas las conchas. Con el tiempo, la capa de nácar de acumula y después de varios años, las perlas de agua salada tardan más en formarse, una perla está completamente formada. En el método de cultivo, un irritante se implanta quirúrgicamente en la criatura, esto se conoce como el núcleo, la semilla o “madre de perla”. A partir de ahí sufre el mismo proceso que en la naturaleza. No creo que estuvieras preguntando sobre el proceso para hacer perlas de imitación. No hablo Español, así que esto ha sido traducido por el traductor de google si ay algún problema de traducción. Espero que esto ayude.

What factors would you consider when locating your drinking water well?
Oliga [24]

Answer: Proximity to where people live. Convenience is a very important factor to consider when locating a well. Studies have shown that when a water point is located less than 200 meters from a home, people tend to use more water than when the source is farther away.
